MBB: Landmark Conference

[Matt Letourneau]

Wow, convincing win for MMA.  Heck of a year for them--wire to wire.  Good luck to them in the tourney.

Here's some irony. Scranton and Catholic meet for a fourth time in the ECAC's. Although I doubt Scranton will accept a bid if offered.

[NEPAFAN]

Congrats to USSMA , they deserve it. Good luck in the Tourny! Scranton has had the target on their back the past two years. They certainly overachieved and I give tons of credit to the team and staff.

The Royals down 1 at the half for the Landmark championship & a ticket to be punched for the NCAA's.
Not sure what Coach Danzig's advice was in the lockerroom but, I'd toss that speech in the filing cabinet under "Need to Revise".
As for Coach Krikorian...I think it's a pretty safe bet that he lit a fire under his troops & made some adjustments that clearly made the difference. The first 7 minutes of the second half MMA made their statement & the Royals were history.
All the best to MMA, and they get to host as well.

congrats to ashworth for both awards---the josten's is very prestigious.  was it he who was a finalist last year as well?  i forget who it was in the landmark that received that last season.

ashworth for POY...hooray!  re-vamp your campaign starting now for next season, matt.  maybe JB will finally get his  (but against the defending POY?! hm!)

I love sophisticated humor.

I thought SU's Majors should have landed a second team berth.

You just have to incite him, don't you?
